[FIX] Fingerprint Gestures on Redmi Note 7 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Of the five phones I've owned recently with rear fingerprint sensors (Honor 7X, Honor 8X, Samsung S9, Google Pixel 3a, Redmi Note 7), the only one which doesn't natively support fingerprint gestures is the Redmi Note 7.
Therefore, I can't swipe down or up on the fingerprint sensor on the Redmi Note 7 to expand or collapse the notification shade the way I can on the other phones. This is a major annoyance for me since I use the notification shade often when I'm using a phone one-handed, and the rear fingerprint sensor is so convenient for this purpose.
So I tried about a dozen different apps on the Play Store until I found one that did exactly what I wanted, and it's free. It's called Keyboard/Button Mapper.

It's not so easy to figure out at first, so I can post instructions if anyone needs help. In summary, however, you would create two new keymaps with the following mappings:
Trigger: <swipe down>
Action: Expand Notification Drawer
Trigger: <swipe up>
Action: Collapse Status Bar
With this one fix, the Redmi Note 7 can be just as convenient to use one-handed as any other modern phone. Enjoy.

Hi Alifirdaus. I'm sorry to hear that it's not working for you. Please list the steps you took so that I might help you. Thanks.

I have enabled all app requests (fixes) including root permission but the app does not recognize the fingerprint actions.

Mine doesnt work either... i just updated to MIUI 12... I'm not rooted. does this require root? thanks!

Gosh I've been looking for an app like this for so looooooong !! Thanks !! Working on my pocophone x3 Surya running arrow os android 11

Unfortunately I'm getting this on my Poco X3 NFC with custom rom. Any other solutions? Xposed edge pro doesn't recognize the fingerprint sensor.

Fingersensor gestures ?

Hey all,
I have bought the Mi8 Dipper and would like to know if the fingerprint sensor is more then just reading fingerprint.
For example lots of device has fingerprint gestures.
Something like sliding down opens qs panel sliding up opens something else sliding to right and left for switching pictures in gallery.
I can't find any settings for that in latest Miui 10 EU ROM ... so is it just Miui or doesnt it even have the ability for that.
thx in advance.

To my knowledge the only other fancy thing than read fingerprints so to double as a camera shutter button, but that's about it. Though that being said, as I understood all fingerprint reader gestures are just software so should be impossible to get modded maybe?
There are apps on Google Play to do this. I was able to use the finger print sensor as back-button but it stopped working after a while and I couldn't get it working again.

Hide navigation bar/soft keys

Hello,
I am coming from a OnePlus 7 Pro. I was able to hide it on the 7 Pro. Can it be done on Samsung phones?

If One UI 2.5 is like 2.1 on my S9+ you can choose “navigation buttons“ or “full screen gestures” (swipe up where the navigation buttons would be). Under “full screen gestures” you can toggle whether or not you want “gesture hints” to appear.
Sorry, I don’t have my S20 FE yet to verify.

Question Gestures active area problem

Hello, I have a poco m3 pro running miui 12.0.10 global + default POCO launcher, not rooted.
Left & right swipe gesture active areas seem too narrow for me, I find myself having to use the tip of my finger in order for it to register, otherwise it won't swipe. I thought it was the case so I ordered another one but same issue. Anyway to widen the area a bit so I don't have to try 3 or 4 times for it to register? I removed the applied screen protector but nothing changed.
This is the case I have. I tried fluid gesture app and that gave me an option to widen the active side areas and made it much better, but I'd like to use the default app. I've never had this issue with my older phones (pixel 3A XL, 4a 5G).
maybe is a firmware issue... with older version same problem?
I ended up installing FNG and increase the left and right active areas and have it running with MIUI gestures. Stupid MIUI.

Themes / Apps / Mods Mirror2RearUltra (rear screen mirroring) (quick tile) (1.0.4)

So it took me a couple of days but I developed a rear screen mirroring app called Mirror2RearUltra. It consists of a quick setting tile and nothing more.
Try it out for yourself, see what happens. I don't know how to squash the bugs but the source (and APK) is available on GitHub if anybody wants to take a peek.
Yes, it does mirror the display onto the rear display.

Nothing happens when I start it. I see the headline, but the app interface is blank.
I'm not supposed if that's the expected behavior, but it doesn't seem to do anything regardless.

Thank you.
But please specify which are the requirements:
- root ?
- Android version ?

These info are not available also on your github repository.

it should be usable without root.
11 min (since that's what the Mi 11 Ultra) shipped with.
MIUI (developed with Xiaomi.eu) but should work with any MIUI version.

Great. Works a treat. Thank you.
@GuyWithRootedPhone I was just reviewing your code on github and as a casual android developer with no experience with this kind of thing (dealing with extra screens) it doesn't look TOO hard. I was wondering though, do you think it'd be possible to build an application that could read notifications and display them to the subscreen? I just absolutely hate that Xiaomi only allows it's default messaging and dialer app to display actual details to the subscreen. I love Google's implementation of Messenger and that's my preferred texting app, but with that as default, nothing appears like the Xiaomi messenger. Same situation with Google's dialer application.
If you have any ideas/tips you could throw my way, I'd be very interested in working on such an app that would allow selected applications to display their contents on the subscreen.
beta 2 is out... it takes methods from the subscreen app installed on the Mi 11 Ultra in an attempt to keep the screen on.
if anybody has any ideas or suggestions on how to keep the screen on full brightness without modifying the settings, that would be super helpful.
Release 1.0-beta2 · tpkarras/Mirror2RearUltra
added code to wake screen up upon launch/wake.
github.com
beta 3 is out, did some tweaks to get it to work on older devices.
if anybody can help me figure out how to keep the screen brightness on the rear display to max. I'd buy you a coffee, I'm struggling to figure out how this all works.
Release 1.0-beta3 · tpkarras/Mirror2RearUltra
Minor fixes. Fixed bug involving face down sensor.

This app isn't doing a thing
I actually had an idea about using rear screen as an input surface while gaming. For example you can map touches/swipes on rear screen onto an action/touch on front screen area and get another functionality. Your app is quite promising to start with. Thanks for this.

can you logcat the app? i need to know if it's crashing or not.
Works fine on mine. Once installed, just swipe from the top, turn it on, click start now and when you tap rear screen to start, it shows main screen. Sorry can't take rear screenshot.
Rotation doesn't work.
Try put camera in video mode and you will end up upside down on rear display.
I would like this to work, because this is my missing feature from Android 12. That all camera options are seen in rear display.
I can't use android 12 and mui 13 because of one sim not able to do call forwarding.
Otherwise works, would be better if it was written in advance that you need to place it in quick launch.
不错 很好用
fixed the brightness to keep the screen bright at all times.
this is the final release, hoping it works for everybody.
Release 1.0-final · tpkarras/Mirror2RearUltra
